This process should only be followed to perform configuration setup for brand new installation of FlexDeploy from another installation of FlexDeploy.

- Copy fd_bkup.dmp file on to the target FlexDeploy database server in to the data pump directory, for example - . (e.g. C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\admin\XE\dpdump.)
- Import data in to into target FlexDeploy database. You will be prompted to enter password for system user.
- Make sure there are no errors in import process. If there are errors, make corrections appropriately and restart import process.

- At this point the target FlexDeploy database should be an exact copy of the source database. But in this scenario, we do Often times you will not need or want any of the execution details, so let's delete execution data using following commands. Make sure to run these commands on target FlexDeploy database.
...
- We will not copy any Artifact Repository in this process, as we are not copying any purging the execution data.
- FlexDeploy can now be installed in target environment as per FlexDeploy Installation Guide, but skip database tier as it was already copied from a different environment.
